Canada Games Selection Process
Qualification Process for the 2011 Team BC (Boys & Girls)
- Top 3 teams each from the 2010 BCWG will qualify for a 4-team playdown to be held in November 2010.
- Gold medal winners of the 2010 BCWG will represent BC at the 2010 Optimist Finals.
- Top 3 teams from the 2010 BCWG will enter a Curl BC training program (from February through to October). This will include a spring training camp and assistance with summer training plans. They will attend an Evaluation Camp in August and receive more assistance with training.
- The fourth team will be determined in October 2010 through a “back-door” opportunity at a previously declared junior spiel (with a juvenile component).
- Team BC will be selected at the Qualifying Playdown during the first week of November 2010 (4-team round robin with a top 3 playoff).
